Orcus.jpg Orcus
 Yellow Yellow Purple C D D B
Pros
  • Law of Hell denies bonus turns when weaknesses are struck, while Hell's Gate grants AOE damage reduction for each open weakness. This eliminates the need to cover weaknesses for all your demons, allowing them to inherit more valuable transfer skills like Epitome of Fortitude, Recarmdra, Auto-Tarunda etc.
  • Good buff control with War Cry and Nocturne in Yellow.
  • Panel 4 offers great bulk, something he desperately needed.
  • Stacks massive damage reduction.
Cons
  • Hell's Gate damage reduction does not apply to single target attacks.
  • Very MP Hungry. Divine brands help with MP costs but reduce his bulk.
  • Needs specific team compositions to work well.
  • Has no Null Mortal. Consider a Tetraja transfer.
  • His only niche is AoE damage reduction—he provides nothing else in terms of damage or further T2 support. Most T1 teams come with enormous amounts of reverse damage reduction, rendering him near useless.
Notes
  • You still receive 1.5x damage from open weaknesses.
  • Due to the way Law of Hell is coded, it will also deny bonus turns gained from a Crit if the attacked demon has a Physical weakness. This ironically makes Slime a great partner for him, as Slime has six open weaknesses including Phys.
  • Law of Hell will also deny the bonus turn of Remnants if the attacked demon has a weakness to the element used.
  • Needs specific team compositions to work well.
    • He's especially a great partner for Rahab in the Tournament gamemode, where Orcus' bonus turn null and Rahab's incredible defense against weakpoints means demons without RDR struggle to significantly damage them. This team was used to win the first season of Tournament by player OneSpace.
Synergies

Build(s)

Great Wall of Hell
ArchYellow.png Transferred Skills Notes:

This build is great for Midrange and slow bulky teams. Pair with slime for a ton of AOE and random damage reduction, protecting your teammates from devasting sweeping attacks.
